GLIA CONTROL
GLIA CONTROL
$299.00
GLIA CONTROLTM is all about building selective control in the arm and hand. Selective movement control is critical in regaining upper limb function. These workouts are designed to dissociate spastic synergy patterns and reinforce a new way of moving more freely.
What you will learn
This program teaches you how to reduce spasticity and co-contraction in your arm, by working the muscles that connect the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. You will learn how to perform active assisted lengthening and strengthening exercises designed to reduce spasticity and unwanted tension in commonly affected muscles such as biceps, triceps, pectorals, latissimus dorsi and brachialis. The program also teaches you how to hold your movement better to reduce the impact and effect of tremor that you may have associated with increased spasticity or tone.
The program includes a step-by-step followable workout that is side-specific and can be worked at your own pace as many times as you wish. The program progresses from easy to more difficult techniques and dosages. Simple props and everyday objects will be used and demonstrated.
Who this for
- Those who struggle with spasticity and increased tone, especially during movement.
- Those who have tremor or associated reactions during movement.
- Those who wish to better link and improve the quality of their shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand patterns in common functional movements.
Key focus areas
- Brain and spinal cord areas that control affect opposing muscles and movements .
- Spasticity and co-contraction in the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand.
- Tremor and associated reactions in the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand.
